To carry out the discourse analysis, we will start from a historical perspective, verifying government policies regarding the Amazon in the last presidential periods (Lula, Rousseff, Temer, Bolsonaro) to conclude that, although in accordance with the scientific data existing in the international NGOs, progress has been made in the conservation of the Amazon rainforest. However, the Amazon is on fire today. What are the political legal decisions, and even the constitutional amendments that have been made in recent years to allow the economic use of the Brazilian Amazon? How does President Bolsonaro's government speech relate to the deforestation of the Amazon? What is the contribution that scientists are making today in the political field for the defense of the Brazilian Amazon?
